Each group consists of 30 students. The control group was taught using a more conventional method, however the experimental group was taught using Task-based instructions. A pre and post test were administered to both groups to find out the effectiveness of TBLT to improve their speaking skills. The mean scores of pre and post English speaking tests were tabulated using SPSS to identify whether there was a difference in students’ achievement of both groups and whether the difference was significant or not. Questionnaires were also distributed to find out their perspectives towards the English lessons.

English is the most used lingua franca and its permeation is mainly through education sector. This expansion is reflected through the display of English coexisting with other languages in education sites. Linguistic landscape study in school sites helps to explain the functions of language choices in school signs. In Indonesia, the use of English captured in school signs have been frequently investigated focusing in their relation with urban communities, yet, the co-existence of languages in signages in sub-urban schools are still rarely investigated. To fill this gap, we scrutinized the languages present on Indonesian sub-urban schools focusing on their patterns and associations. 101 school signs were collected from three senior high schools in sub-urban areas in Jember, Magetan and Situbondo. The display patterns were analyzed based on the number of languages present in the signs and interpreted socio-culturally. This study found three patterns of the suburban school signs: monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual signs consisting of five different languages: Indonesian, English, Arabic, Sanskrit, and Latin. Indonesian becomes the dominant language used, and is followed by English. English is mostly used in schools that have history as international schools. In addition, Arabic is mostly used in school located in Islamic environment as a form of self-identification, and Sanskrit is used as a cultural symbol in the school located in dominant Javanese community. In conclusion, location and socio-cultural context influence the language used in school.

Politeness is a phenomenon that seeks to mitigate the potential destructiveness of face-threatening acts (FTAs) in human interaction. Àbíkú is children who die repeatedly at infancy. Names given to àbíkú could be politely or impolitely crafted by the parents. The aim of this study is to do a speech act analysis of the force of perlocution in àbíkú names. The specific objectives were to identify the FTAs in àbíkú names; determine the weight of seriousness of FTAs in the names; examine the names and present the directness and indirectness of the utterances, and explain how the meaning of these names are used to solve the mysteries therein. The random sampling technique was used in collecting relevant data from traditional medicine practitioners and elderly members of the Yoruba speaking population reputed to have special knowledge of Abiku. Brown and Levinson's model of Politeness Strategies and Searle's taxonomy of illocutionary acts were used as tools of analysis. The study revealed that politeness strategies are not only used for FTAs, they are also used to maintain a social relationship between interlocutors. We concluded that there are social factors influencing the weight of the seriousness of FTAs in àbíkú names for a better understanding.
